version with fall off top and parashute inside

THIS DESIGN DO NOT WORK AT ALL !!!
TOP WILL NOT FALL OFF, BOTH PARTS WILL STAY TOGETHER AND SHUTE WILL NOT BE RELEASED

---------

version with RC radio controlled servo release and spring push out parashute

This version works all the time, and is alot of fun to fly fly and reuse all day long,
made june 13 2011 together with Nikolaj. DZL.
When servo rotate, the two metal rods go in-wards, and outside holders are released, here in released position

metal rod come out of this hole

No fancy ways here

parachute cross type, wires are a bit of a pain, but we did not really see them tangled.

on top of the sero is a piece of cardboard, and a large spring to push out the shute.

a normal 35Mhz RC receiver is all we wanted to waste on this dumb simple project.

3 x AAA size alcaline cells, is perfect for power, note the on/off switch is just two wires to wrap a bit, here in off setting.

even the spring is homemade, welding wire

RED : the metal rod in hold position
BLUE : plastic with little hole for the rod
PURPLE : the plastic pieces are simply taped to the engine part of the rocket.
